Conservation of Large Carnivores and Ensuring Ecological Connectivity in the Carpathians

With this transboundary Action Plan, adopted at the Carpathian Convention’s Sixth Conference of the Parties (COP6) in 2020, the Parties to the Convention provide an important tool for adequately managing and protecting Carpathian natural heritage and restoring the ecological connectivity in the region. The International Action Plan on the conservation of large carnivores and ensuring ecological connectivity translates sustainable development goals into concrete actions for humanity living in harmony with nature.

By setting a unique and innovative example of transboundary coordination and a population-based approach to the conservation of large carnivores, this Action Plan will benefit not only the Carpathian Mountains and the broader Danube Region, but also Europe and beyond.
